It has been 10 years since he posted this find. Wonder if the area stayed hot?

America was founded by tough hell-raisers. Rugged citizens who evaded taxes, spoke strongly against tyranny, grew tobacco, brewed beer, distilled spirits, and smuggled weapons. And it will be saved by those same types of citizens.

Old thread but a great interesting thread since I've found lots of Canadian large cents here in southern Ontario but not a single American one, but have found 9 Indian heads dating between 1897-1907 here in Canada.
Out of the 42 large cents I've found since the mid 90's, 12 of which were 1917. the rest ranging from 1859-1920. The most I've found in a single hunt was 3 at an 1890's home I got permission to detect. I love large cents!!!!!!
